It's weird to me that some people include things like "Cloaks of Skyrim" in their list of "mods they can't live without."

 

Really? If I told you tomorrow that "Cloaks of Skyrim" was unusable, you would stop playing the game forever?

 

Essential mods for me are SkyUI, Tropical Skyrim and Lightweight Potions.

Relighting skyrim to get those vanilal lights looking right.

 

Texture packs, texture packs and more texture packs. I like my game looking right and good.

 

If you'r pc can handle it, go for an ENB, i personally liek bleak, unbleak and the wilds. They perform really good for me (but then again i have sli), and give nice feelings.

 

What the others mentioned also does not hurt, however i avoid any mod that changes the base mechanic of the game. Basically i avoid SkyRE, rich merchants, smithing revised etc, because i like to play the game, as Bethesda created it (core wise). Again, this is MY opinion, nothing wrong with those mods.

 

If you want more immersion, then RLO is recommended. But i HIGHLY recommend you saving BEFORE you install such mods, incase you do not like a mod, you can just uninstall it and reload the save (the save before you installed the mod) to avoid scripts running messing the game.

 

SKSE, SkyUI, quality world map are the mods "i can not live without". if that helps.

SkyUI - essential for everyone playing Skyrim on PC.

 

Immersive HUD - basically makes the HUD go away when you do not need it, totally interactive and configureable.

 

Immersive armors - adds a bunch of lore friendly armors to the game.

 

Immersive weapons - adds a bunch of lore friendly weapons to the game.

 

Immersive patrols - for random encounters, makes the world alive.

 

Skyrim Immersive Creatures - a new mod that adds a bunch of monsters to fight with new looks and all that jazz, really well done. There`s also a hardcore lore friendly version without some of the new creatures.

 

Warzones: Civil Unrest - Adds a real civil war in Skyrim which is the core of the lore but never showed up in vanilla.

 

Deadly combat - for better melee combat mechanics.

 

ACE - archery module for better archery.

 

ASIS - I can`t recommend this enoguh, ASIS makes enemies more intelligent, they use potions, spells, etc.

 

If your PC can handle it I highly recommend using an ENB mod.

 

 

Also this is a decent mods list:

Warning about Warzones! That mod is VERY outdated and causes lots of CTD's for most people

 

It was devastating to me but I had to get rid of it D:
